I posted a new blog post here. Here's a small taste...
So many of you may know I'm quite excited for BF3. If you didn't know, you do now. I've been a fan of the franchise since it was released and I have spent many hours with every single Battlefield game ever made, that includes the one made for the Xbox and PS2 last generation and both Battlefield Bad Company games this generation. Finally after several weeks of waiting, the full 12 minute gameplay trailer was released. I understand it was released on the 14th, but I've only gotten time to sit down and write some thoughts about it now.
You can watch it here if you haven't seen it.
It's pretty.
After watching this video I believe that Battlefield 3 is the last hope of the modern military shooter. The modern military shooter craze started in 2004 with Battlefield 2 and really took off in 2007 with the release of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. While Battlefield 2 took it's place next to the dominate PC multilayer shooters like Counter Strike Source and Unreal Tournament 2k4, Call of Duty 4 swept the console market by storm with it's extremely well paced campaign and fast paced multilayer which rewarded players more than any other shooter before. CoD4's success quickly knocked off Halo as the console's biggest shooter and even took it's place next to the PC's biggest multiplayer shooters. Even after the launch of Call of Duty World at War in 2008, CoD 4 was still the dominate FPS in the market.
